the reason for using AI is that although they are expensive to buy, they are cheaper in the long run since they don't need a salary. if you have to pay more taxes, then you lose the financial reason to buy the AI.

businessmen would simply stop buying, or, more likely, would simply set up their companies in a country with lower taxes.

the most efficient way to raise money for the UBI is through state-owned companies using AI

technology cheapens over time, cars and televisions were only for the rich in the past, and today they are popular. but if they decide to charge more taxes, the technology will not even be used enough to make it cheaper
